He Loved His Dog.

In the greatest of the ancient Hindoo
poems-the sacred book of the Mahab-
harata-there is a passage of exceptional
beauty and tenderness, which records the
reception of King Yudiauthira at the
gate of Paradise. A pilgrim of the heav-
emily city, the king had travelled over vast
spaces, and one by one the loved ones,
the companions of his journey, had all
fallen and left him alone, save his faith
full dog, which still followed. He was
met by Indra and invited to enter the
holy city. But the king thinks of his
friends who have fallen on the way and
declines to go in without them. The god
tells him they are all within, waiting for
him. Joyful, he is about to seek them,
when he looks upon the poor dog, who,
weary and wasted, crouches at his feet,
and asks that he, too, may enter the gate.
Indra refuses. and thereupon the king
declares that to abandon his faithful and
dumb friend would be as great sin as to
kill Brahmin.
Away with that felicity whose price is to abandon
the faithful
Never, come veal or woe, win leave my faithful
dog.
The poor creature, in fear and distress, has
trusted in my power to save him;
Not therefore, for life itself, WIN break my
plighted word
In full sight of heaven he chooses to go
to he'll with his dog, and straightway de-
sends, as he supposed. thither. But his
virtue and faithfulness change his desti-
nation to heaven, and he finds himself
surrounded by his old friends and in the
presence of the gods, who thus honor and
reward his humanity and unseifish love-

The race Is not to the swift nor the
battle to the strong. The weakest hand

says, that it makes all men alike tall =

major Is the reducto ad absurdun, or
extreme instance, of this childish method
which still survives among the Chinese
and may be seen in japanese pictures
In an old military text book the Portu-
guese soldiers were ordered to attack
their opponents with farocious countc-
nances."
But civilization has set aside all this
merely physical impressiveness and sub
stituted invention. A monk, not sol
der, invented gunpowder. Savage
strength Is powerless against the needle
gun and the unseen torpedo. This does
not annihilate the value Of physical
health and strength, bnt 1t readapts their
use. The young man even in military
school has his bodily health trained not
that he may grasp his opponent in his
mighty arms and throw him to the earth,
as formerly, but that he may have his
head clear, his nerves in equilibrium, his
action promptly. w. ii. in Harper's

what Arabia ia Like.

Thanks to those instructive works called

information of various worthy folks who
have never seen any desert but Coney
Island, we all know pretty well by this

tastefully decorated with human skele-
tons and milestoned with solitary palm
trees thirty leagues apart, each overhang-

fortably where there is nothing to eat,
and amassing rich spoil where there is no

Arabia as 1t is, which does not agree by
any means with Arabia as it ought to be.

The collection OF portraits of Julius
Caesar in the February Scribner are spe-
cially noteworthy ON account Of the
resemblance Of the features to the
American type. Take, for in
stance, plate z, from the bust in the
British museum. Is not this almost
perfect American face, such as one
meets daily, and which abounds in New
Englandi One very notable Characteristic
is the small chin. Tbs American Jaw
and chin are supposed to be deteriorat-
ing, and yet here we find their prototype
in face some 1000 years old, and in the
features of a man whose achievements
have been the marvel Of the world With
this example before us, we are justified
in suspccting that the narrowing jaw Is
an evolution of civilization, and marks
change rather than decline Of power. -

BORN ON THE CARS.

Thursday night. a little stranger
entered this world of toll and care
under somewhat unusual circum.
stances, says che Cumberland Times
of last Friday. A German emigrant
on her way West, in company with a
number of others of her nationality,
found herself when approaching
Cumberland, about to become a
mother. Notice was given to the
officials, and Dr.. Carr was telegraph
ed to meet the train, which was due
at 2.45 o'clock. He was promptly in
attendance upon Its arrival, and soon
a fine bouncing baby boy was mum.

going West. The mother was made
as comfortable as possible, and
smiling her thanks to the doctor,
(which her tongue could not frame, J

SELECTIONS.
YANKEE MOTIONS In THE SOUTH.

The two sections began life to-
gether and formed q government.
The South had the advantage oil
soil. climate and wealth. At the
end of eighty. four years the two
grappled and fought. The Yankee
section came to the fight richer and
stronger than our southern section
and beat us into the earth while we
did our best. To-day these Yankees
are rich IN everything, and we are
poor in every thing but manhood and
womanhood and have less than we
began with 100 years back. These
same Yankees furnish the bulk of
the capital we use, the food we eat,
the clothes We wear, the books we
read and study, the high. grade
teaching in the normal schools of
the Southern States.
Almost every convenience of life
and invention of art or science we
know comes from these same people,
who have i'll ten years done more
with Florida than the Florida natives
have done in fifty. Almost any one
OF their large communities could buy
the whole South for park, if they
liked it for that purpose. In a fight
they could crush us like egg shells.
In politics they are our masters, and
we have to hold our breath in every
big campaign to avoid offending
them. Their percentage OF lgnor-
ance is one-tenth of ours. When
trouble comes on us we depend on
them for most Of the help, and get it.
The world knows them as America,
and us as outlying and unconsidered
provinces. They are producing the
representative poets, painters aud
authors of the country, while we
tran along behind With our eyes
fixed on them, hardly daring to hope
that we may become as strong and
rich and enlightened as they are by
years of hard work.
The majority understand that
while we were making statesmen
and warriors and ruling politics, the
Yankees were making territories,
building manufactures and develop.
ing d countless army of trained minds
and hands, strengthening and en-
tightening their masses and making
them an exhaustless reservoir of in.
tellectual and physical power, and
that, if we are to share the Yankee
wealth, strength and place IN the
world, we must use some (not all)
Yankee ideas and abandon some
mot ALI of our own.--From the
Greenuille rs. g. Neaes.
